Ok, if you say so. I have IceCat and Librewolf on computer and FREE Browser on phone.

Only consider CalyxOS and GrapheneOS. Ideologues will push you exclusively towards GrapheneOS but it's not th be-all solution for all people that they think it is. My current and previous phone are GrapheneOS. It's fine. It does what I want. I don't find it amazing only because it's a phone, not a new discovery. I use GrapheneOS with F-Droid with all anti-features disabled in F-Droid settings and I have all the apps I need.

Lineage will likely wirk with random phones, that dosn't mean it's quality. I say, if a phone OS works on LG, Samaung, Nokia, and a Chinese company phone, I don't trust the stability of the OS.

I see the name e/OS around, I don't hear it ever mentioned in public discussions, I think it's for Fairphone or one of those gimmick name phones.

I've never heard of DivestOS before you mentioning it.

I know that for a fact that you can't install GrapheneOS on it, but CalyxIS is available for the Fairphone, then flash that and you'll have full protection, minus mandatory communication services that are require to use any kind of a smartphone.

Go through Brax's videos and see if he ever shows how to do anything or if he nly talks about it but never gives instructions. There are random no name channels that show how to flash ROMs, what does Brax show?

Look at his website, does that look like it was made by someone within th past 25 years?

Apparently he has some kind of an APK file to install, how easy is it to find and what is the date of the last release?

Does he always sell out of phones, or were they never available for public buyers? Where is his ordering page? Does the order page say sold out or is there no ordering website?

My point being, add up all of the evidence and comapred it to random websites that list which used phones they sell, compare to the amount of random videos that walkthrough how to to flash a ROM, I say Brax starts to look like a con who doesn't know tech, only parrots what he reads. Compare his website to free wsbsite builders, see which looks like more recent designs and web technologies.

Yes, plugin ethernet, install updates, unplug ethernet, never connect it to wi-fi, there is no risk to privacy.

Are people aware that they can buy a smart TV and never conntect it to wi-fi and never plug in the ethernet? There is no risk if TV never gets an IP.
